unfa🇺🇦I'll try to write a micro-article here on Mastodon. Let's see how it goes :DWhy aren't the classic arena shooters so popular today? Is it just things being better "in the old times"? Why do modern <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FPS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#games</a> suck? Did arena shooters suck too? Do they suck now?Asking a lot of questions is fun. I am gonna share some facts that will hopefully help you answer them.The first problem is that classic arena shooter game design is incredibly brutal.Think <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/deathmatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deathmatch</a> in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Quake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Quake</a> 3 or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UT</a>'99 ...

TECC :archlinux:🎉 Happy birthday <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Quake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Quake</a>! On June 22, 1996, id Software launched Quake — the first full-3D shooter using the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/QuakeEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuakeEngine</a>. Unlike 2D-sprite-based games, Quake featured fully 3D environments, dynamic lighting, and Lightmaps.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/HalfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HalfLife</a> and <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/CounterStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CounterStrike</a> are built on the Quake engine — making it a milestone in multiplayer <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/FPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FPS</a> history.

unfa🇺🇦I've been playing some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CounterStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CounterStrike</a> 2 lately. I only really play <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/deathmatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deathmatch</a> or arms race - no sweating necessary :D I find it quite relaxing, but also stimulating (when I'm sleepy) also quite inspiring for my work on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Liblast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Liblast</a>. It's incredible that CS has been around for like 25 years now and the game never fell off the map. The game design has been pretty much unchanged for 2+ decades and it seems to just work. It's like chess. The game is almost cannonical at this point :D <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/thoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thoughts</a>

amimoregoreWorked three shows yesterday with Labor of Love + Sean Henderson Presents: Euphoria, Big Dan's 40th Birthday, and ACTION Wrestling's DEAN~!!! (punctuation is as the promoters made it, no editorial from me) I may have broken a toe. Got lots of minor cuts and bruises and I am just so in love with doing this. Bonus: Rare death match photo where I have broken glass but no visible blood! <a href="https://allies.buzz/discover/tags/wrestling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wrestling</a> <a href="https://allies.buzz/discover/tags/deathmatch?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deathmatch</a> <a href="https://allies.buzz/discover/tags/indiewrestling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indiewrestling</a>
